Winning coming from a pawn down Giri-Aronian

Sort:

Someone helps me to understand how Aronian wins this game, in some moment it seems he is just a pawn down and fighting to draw. Sometimes it looks Aronian is a coffee chess player, a 2800+ coffee chess player, coffee from Colombia, but the way he tricked Meier in a lost game was kind of epic

 

 

"Don't trust Ne1" Aronian tricking Giri in the past

It is a difficult question, pdela. How can I shed some serious light on a game between two giants of chess? I don't like to use an engine, so I know that my ideas will be much less then the ideas of Aronian and Giri.

If you want people to react, you might give the positions that inspired you to ask this question. That makes it much easier then simply look at those 101 moves and tell me what you think of it. If so, then might I have time in the weekend to take a look at it.

yeah, it's very difficult to know when things started to go wrong for Giri. Kind of weird thing, I knew people would not post answers, my second post was a little joke. Then one thing is that you can put it in the computer to analyze the game and another one that you can give explanations on what's going on. But I think, nevermind, the game exemplifies well the complexity of chess. Would it not be complex the best of world (people who dedicate their life to the 64 squares) would always draw. And, ever more now, with a World Champion which plays to the end, it is show there are a big number of decisive games. To achive so one has to go beyond the comprehension of another guy.

White's pawns were blockaded on light squares with a backward b pawn. 23. c3? a5 24. Na2 Nc4 25. Rab1 Be4 is strong. Giri returned the pawn to remove the bishop, which was very much stronger then either knight. I think Giri overlooked something about 44...Kxa4, I don't know when he did so, but Black easily slips out of the mating net and has a strong passed pawn to show for it.

I don't think Aronian was ever in serious trouble in the first game, but then again what do I know.
